A coordinated campaign to drive trans people out of public life Parker Molloy on the latest Oklahoma anti-trans work

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

I repeat myself, but there is no ethical blogging under capitalism, and people gotta draw their own lines, but you should be aware that many people in your potential audience very much have their own lines and you are crossing them.

Everyone thinks wisconsin is about beer and cheese but it's actually about wild rice and cranberry.

MNSPJ condemns St. Paul police attacks on journalists The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists strongly condemns attacks on journalists by law enforcement on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, during a federal operation in St. Paul. At least three local photojournalists were injured by less-lethal munitions deployed by St. Paul police officers while covering the story. One was transported to the hospital in an ambulance. All three journalists were clearly identified as press with badges and/or vests, in addition to having cameras in hand, clearly at work. All three photojournalists and multiple other local journalists on scene were also injured by chemical irritants. Kerem Yücel, with MPR News, was hit by a less-lethal munition in the shoulder and was transported to a hospital by ambulance. He has since been released and is recovering. Tim Evans, a freelance photojournalist with Reuters, was struck in the stomach with a pepper ball round. Aaron Nesheim, a photojournalist with Sahan Journal, was struck in the head with a pepper ball round. Evans and Nesheim did not require hospitalization. The three journalists hit by munitions shared with MNSPJ that they believe they were targeted by law enforcement for doing their jobs. Photojournalists are on the frontlines of documenting history and it is imperative that they are kept safe and their First Amendment rights are protected. Attacking journalists sends a message to both journalists and everyday citizens that their First Amendment rights will not be respected. The First Amendment protects the rights of journalists to report on their communities and provide information that communities need — information that, on Tuesday, was not transparently available from any law enforcement agency. We demand answers from St. Paul city leadership about why the city’s police department attacked our colleagues and a commitment to seeing that this will never happen again.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

The best decision I made this year was switching from CBT to somatic therapy. I've never been this in control of my anxiety in my adult life.

Photojournalist arrested at Miami immigration protest, gear seized Freelance photojournalist Dave Decker was arrested by Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies while documenting anti-deportation protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement …

Journalists should never be arrested for doing their jobs.

Prosecutors in Miami-Dade County must immediately drop the charges against photojournalist Dave Decker, and police should apologize for arresting him for doing nothing more than working to keep the public informed.

And, as always: fuck transphobes and transphobia - I do not care in the slightest that the pope sometimes makes the right noises on climate.

Flood lines on a wall. The lowest line is 2023, then 1993, then 2019, then 2014, then 2023, then 1952, then 1997, then 2001, then 1969 which was about as tall as a doorway, then the highest was 1965.

Went to a wedding on an island in the Mississippi and couldn’t help noticing that five of the nine times the venue has flooded were since 2000

Think Twice Before Giving Surveillance for the Holidays With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year: smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers,

So-called "smart" devices are pushed heavily for the holidays, but be mindful of what you're opting that gift recipient into. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

increasingly thinking about how we live in a world in which a lot of people are getting information from chatbots that scrape the public internet and a lot of truth (good reporting) is tucked behind paywalls and the publicly available websites (the CDC lol) are are spreading mis/disinfo
